cant read XAR file ERROR

First, have you tried File>>Open Recent>>Backups ?

Rizwan Butt - From the File menu, select Open Recent... and at the bottom of the menu, select Backups...

This opens a folder with backup files. Xara by default saves a backup every ten minutes. Try opening some of the backup files.

If one opens and it is OK, then save it with the same name as your corrupted file.

The OP, shows in Post #1 that he's using Xtreme Pro 5.

Xtreme didn't have the option of saving Backups?!

So, I'm a bit puzzled, as his profile shows that he's using much newer software.

The original post was in 2010 Rik. Rizwan Butt reopened the discussion yesterday. Same issue, five years later.

Why say something in one line when you can say it in three
